lie CENTURY FOR FEBRUARY.-The
variety in the contents of the current
CENTURY is not less noticeable than
the geographical distribution of their
origin. In subjects and contributors
all sections of the country are repre-
sented, and appeal is made to many
tastes. Politics, biography, travel,
fiction of four kinds, art architecture,
astronomy, public questions, war rem
inlscences, unwritten history, poetry,
and humor furnish topics of vital and
present interest. The drawings, by
Winslow Homer, Pencil, Blum. Kem-
bic, Alexander, the beautifully printed
cngravings of astronomical subjects,
(including novel one of A Flash of
Lightning, from photography the re-
productions Of the newly discovered
Roman bronze statues, and the por-
traits of American statesmen and d.
vines, show no willingness to subor.

Pension Commissioner Black says in
summarizing the work of the Democratic
administrator "Quietly but positive
ly the reforms that have long been de-
manded by the people, so far ss the
administrative branch of the govern
ment is concerned, are in vigorous ef-
feet. Economy and law are the stand.
ards Of official action, Partisanship
does not throw its sword into the scales
Of justice. Submission to assessments
by public officials for partisan purposes
is not condition Of public service
Contracts are not let to the highest
partisan bidder, and the public lands
are safe within the pale of the statutes
What more could be said in behalf of
the great party which has brought
about these things in the brief space OF
twenty-five mouths"
